I thank my colleague and friend and chair for yielding, and I thank my colleague on the other side of the aisle for his support for this bill. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 6934, the Uniform Treatment of NRSROs Act. NRSROs are…
Howard Dean
The Public Record
Howard Dean is a prominent figure in the Democratic Party, best known for his tenure as the Governor of Vermont from 1991 to 2003. During his time in office, he focused on healthcare reform, environmental issues, and fiscal responsibility, earning a reputation for his progressive policies. Dean played a significant role in the national political landscape as the chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2005 to 2009, where he was instrumental in the party's grassroots organizing efforts and the development of the '50-state strategy' aimed at increasing Democratic presence across the country.
Recovery is challenging and isolating even during normal days, and this pandemic has only made it more difficult for those who suffer from addiction and substance use disorder. That is why National Recovery Month, this month, takes on even…
I am a little puzzled by those remarks. After all, the Allen amendment sought some rather drastic changes to ESEA, but that didn't seem to generate that same comment. We all know that equal educational opportunities enrich us all, and they…
I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 1, line 10, insert ``AND STATE'' after ``national''. Page 1, line 11, strike ``The Secretary''…
There will be hard -- hardliners I got a whole bunch of them on Twitter saying, oh, you don't really believe those stories.
The only way Trump wins is to cheat, which is busy trying to do by wrecking the Post Office and all that kind of stuff.
I think the reason they're in trouble is because they have put loyalty to Trump over loyalty to their country.
Biden is the exact opposite and I think Harris is going to be a really good addition to the ticket.
We are halfway through this year and 6 months into this pandemic, and our Nation still lacks a national testing strategy. The President claimed that he was a wartime President, but with 150,000 Americans dead, this administration has not…
Our student loan debt crisis predates the pandemic. We encourage high school students to attend college, to claim their education, yet too many graduates are shackled with a mountain of debt that limits their future, impedes their…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, like many others in this Chamber, the last time I heard Mr. Lewis' voice was on a Caucus call recently. Congressman Lewis implored us: Be bold. Be brave. Keep the faith. Keep your eyes on…
I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In subtitle E of title XVII, add at the end the following: SEC. __. PAYMENTS FOR PRIVATE EDUCATION…
I thank the chairman and all the members of the committee for their fine work in the proposed legislation. I rise today in support of my amendment, No. 11, to H.R. 6395. This amendment would provide much-needed assistance to roughly 6…
This amendment is a valuable amendment to tackle what we knew before the pandemic was a problem: $1.6 trillion in student loan debt, $119 billion of that for private student loans. What we do know is, while the default rate on private…
Just for some final thoughts, Mr. Speaker, I want to reiterate that this is a commonsense requirement that helps both the servicers and the borrowers. Remember, the servicers will receive a lump-sum payment and should, therefore, be able…
I, too, offer you my and my family's sympathies on the loss of your father. Madam Speaker, it is my privilege to rise in support of this historic bill, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Enough is enough. Racial injustice has been…
I will be voting ``yes'' on this bill to send nearly $40 billion to my hard-hit State of Pennsylvania. I urge all of our colleagues to do the same.
Shame on those who would not tell the truth during a pandemic. Though more help is needed, I rise in support of this interim funding bill. These dollars must actually make it to those who need it: small family businesses, minority- and…
The coronavirus pandemic is a reminder of our common humanity and our interconnectedness. I stand today to say Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and Berks County, Pennsylvania, my home district, have been particularly hard hit. There are…
Our servicemen and -women deserve more than a thank-you. They deserve our support and our protection. This week, with unanimous support, we passed H.R. 5003, the Fair Debt Collection Practices for Servicemembers Act, to stand up for our…
I think Biden is going to start talking about income and equality. And I think Biden is going to start. If he doesn't want to talk about Medicare for All, he better have something pretty good so everybody has coverage.
I thank the good gentleman from Guam for yielding. I rise in support of H.R. 5003, the Fair Debt Collection Practices for Servicemembers Act. Every day we are reminded of the significant sacrifices our troops make to protect us, and as…
As Black History Month comes to an end, I would like to acknowledge some of my local NAACP leaders: Ms. Val Ward of Willow Grove; Mr. Craig Brown of Cheltenham; Shaykh Anwar Muhammad of Ambler; Mr. John Milligan of Norristown; Ms. Diana…
The vast majority of Bernie Sanders' supporters voted for Hillary Clinton in the last election.
